Armed output: Orange wire will produce a grounded output when system is
armed.
Flashing Parking Light Output:
Armed: 1 second pulsed,Disarmed: 2-one
second pulses-, then output will latch on
for 30 seconds, or until ignition is turned
on, or system rearms. System triggered: 1
second pulse on, 1 second off, repeated
for 45 seconds.
Dome Light Output: Output is identical to Flashing Parking Light Output.
Super Selective
Receiver Board:
The new receiver design allows for a
much narrower band width reception. It
rejects RF interference that causes inconsistent range in similar type products and
improves the range of transmission
between remote and receiver.Average
minimum range is 100’ although it is common to get between 150’-300’. Our
extended range model with windshield
mounted receiver allows for up to 500’ of
range.
3 CHANNEL SOFTWARE

code, the system will acknowledge only
the first remote. Even though both
remotes will operate the system.
Multi Car Operation: If you are using a
remote to control two vehicles Button #
2 will only operate arming and disarming
features on the second vehicle. 2nd and
3rd auxiliary channels will not function on
the second vehicle. Since all Black Widow
transmitters are 3 channel, you could
operate up to three different vehicles
with a single remote. (Button 1, 2 and
both 1&2 or 3 on 3-button remote)
INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Mount the module and program dip switch functions
(see page 3):
Look for a suitable mounting location
under the dash or inside the vehicle that
will be difficult for a potential thief to
locate the module, but allow for a convenient installation position.
Keep the antenna wire away from wire
looms, computer modules and metallic
objects for better range.Wire tie or
screw the module securely.
2. Install the Status
Indicator (LED):
Locate a suitable place for the status indicator (LED), drill the appropriate size
hole (7/16”). Make sure there is enough
depth for the LED to fit all the way in,
and can be easily seen from outside the
vehicle. Carefully run the LED and 2 pin
red connector and wire harness to the
module and plug into the matching red
two pin connector on the module. Push
the LED into the hole, it should fit snugly.
3. Install the Valet/
Override Switch:
Mount the valet/override switch in a hidden location, but that can still be found by
the customer for programming and emergency override situations. Run the 2 pin
blue connector and wire harness to the
module and plug into the matching blue 2
pin connector on the module.
4. Connect Starter
4
Page 5
Disable Relay:
Using a volt/ohm meter locate the starter
wire (normally a heavier gauge wire) off
of the ignition switch.The meter will read
12V+ only during cranking.When the
starter wire has been located, cut the
wire, the vehicle should not be able to
start now. Cut the brown starter disable
wire (with the two female connectors).
Connect one side to the vehicle’s starter
wire, then plug to either .25 male spade
lugs on the module.There is no polarity.
Connect the other brown wire to the
other starter wire off of the ignition
switch. Plug the brown wire to the other
.25 male spade lug on the module.The
car should now start.
5. Connect the Illuminated
Entry Output: Black/White
wires on main harness
If the vehicle has a negative door switch,
connect one of the two black/white wires
from the main harness to ground.
Connect the second black/white wire to
the green wire, also from the main harness (negative door input). If the vehicle
has a positive door switch, connect one
of the black/white wires to a constant
12V+ source and the other black/white
wire to the violet wire also from the main
harness (positive door input).
6. Connect Optional Armed
Output: Orange wire on the
main harness
This wire provides a 250 ma ground output when the alarm is armed. It can be
used to control optional modules. (i.e.
window control modules, or used with
another relay to interrupt another circuitsuch as fuel pump, ignition).
7. Connect 2nd channel output: Gray wire on main harness
This output is 500ma, and drives a relay
to open the electric trunk or hatch
release. (See diagram section).
NOTE:This output will work with the
ignition on or off. Press Button # 2 and
hold for 3 seconds.You will receive output on the gray wire as long as you hold
Button # 2.
8. Connect Negative door
input: Green wire on main harness
Connect the green wire from the module
to the wire that shows ground when all
of the doors are opened.Verify with a
volt/ohm meter. Make sure that all doors
when opened separately make the target
wire provide a ground output.
9. Connect Hood/ Trunk switch
input:Blue wire on main harness
Connect the blue wire to either or both
hood and trunk switches.They must provide a ground output when the trunk or
hood are opened.
5
Page 6
10. Connect Positive Door input:
Violet wire on main harness
Connect the violet wire from the module
to the wire that shows 12V+ when all of
the doors are opened.Verify with
volt/ohm meter. Make sure that all doors
when opened separately make the target
wire provide a 12V+ output.
11. Connect the Flashing
Parking Light Output: White
wire main harness.
Using a volt/ohm meter, locate the wire
(usually on the head light switch) that
shows 12V+ when only the parking lights
are switched on. European vehicles may
require an additional relay if they have
separate wires that switch on the left and
right side parking lights.
This relayed output has a maximum of 15
amps. Do not hook to head lights. (See
diagram section).
12. Connect 12V+ Power Input
: Red wire on main harness
Connect the red fused wire on the main
harness to a constant 12V+ source.
This source wire should be at least 20
amp supply.There usually is a main constant power wire on the ignition switch.
Use volt/ohm meter to verify.
13. Connect the 12V+ ignition
input: Yellow wire on main
harness
Connect the yellow wire on the main
harness to a main ignition wire.This can
be also found in the main ignition switch
wire harness.Your volt/ohm meter will
read 12V+ when key is turned on.
Make sure that this ignition wire has
12V+ on even during the starting process
of the vehicle. It is important that the
voltage does not drop when the car is
starting.
Some vehicles have ignition wires that
remain or slowly drop to 0 volts.Verify
that when the ignition is shut off that the
voltage drops to 0 Volts immediately. If
the yellow wire has voltage on it after the
key is turned off, it will keep the alarm
from arming via the remote.
14. Connect Ground Input:
Black wire on main harness
Locate a good solid chassis ground and
connect to the black wire on main harness.Verify the ground with your
volt/ohm meter.
15. Connect optional third
channel output: White/Red
wire on main harness
Connect the white/red wire on main harness to an optional relay or accessory
module to control via the 3rd channel.
Ideal for window roll up or remote start.
To use this feature press both buttons
1&2 on 2 button remote control, or
Button # 3 on 3 button remote. NOTE:

This output will work with the ignition on
or off and will provide output on the
white/red wire as long as you hold proper
transmitter buttons.
16. Connect the door lock
wires: Blue & Green on 5 pin
harness
For Module with on board door
lock/unlock relays:
Connect the violet wire to the proper
polarity (negative or positive).
Connect the Brown wire to the door
unlock switch wire (see diagram section).
Connect the Blue wire to the door
unlock motor wire (See diagram section).
Connect the Green wire to the door lock
motor wire (See diagram section).
Connect the White wire to the door lock
switch wire (See diagram section).
17. Plug in main harness and
5 pin door lock harness
to module.
18. Test features and functions
Arm and disarm system, check that the
parking lights are functioning normally.
Make sure that the programmed features
(via dip switch) are performing correctly,
ie.: ignition locks, passive arming, passive
locks, etc.
Arm the system and try starting the vehicle, it should not start.
Arm the system and disarm it with the
ignition and override switch.
If programmed to passively arm make
sure that the system properly arms.
Check for range with the remotes. See
that they arm and disarm all the way
around the vehicle; adjust the module
antenna location if necessary.
Using the remote and valet switch, check
for the user features: chirp mute, service
mode, valet mode, temporary trigger and
sensor bypass, and chirp delete.
Tie up wire harness, and replace any
under dash panels.
